Session: The Future Is Human-in-the-Loop: Why AI Needs You
AI is everywhere, from automating tasks to generating entire conversations. But while the technology is powerful, it isn’t perfect. AI can be biased, make wrong assumptions, or produce results that feel polished yet soulless. That’s where humans come in.
In this talk, I’ll share why the future of AI is not about replacing people but about amplifying their value. Developers, creators, and leaders are needed more than ever—as advisors, decision-makers, and ethical guides. I’ll also share real examples of when AI “broke things” and how human expertise turned them into opportunities for better outcomes.
This is a call for women in tech, and anyone passionate about innovation, to embrace their role in shaping how AI is used. Because the future isn’t AI or human. It’s AI and human.
